26-June-1995 Madhya Pradesh declared "Tiger State "as it homes one sixth of the world's tiger pop
On June 26th 1995, Madhya Pradesh was declared the "Tiger State of India" since the state was then home to one sixth of the world’s tiger population.
Madhya Pradesh, also known as "the heart of India", is blessed
with rich flora and fauna is home to 9 national parks and 25 wildlife
sanctuaries, spread over an area of 10,862 km sq. At one time, the state was
home to 19% of India’s tiger population and 10% of the world’s tiger
population. The government made a special effort to conserve highly endangered
species, especially tigers in the national parks of Madhya Pradesh. Wildlife
sanctuaries such as the Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Pench, Panna and Satpura National
Park are managed as Project Tiger reserves.
Kanha
Tiger Reserve, also called Kanha National Park, is one of the tiger reserves of India and the
largest national park of Madhya Pradesh, state in the heart of India. The
present-day Kanha area was divided into two sanctuaries, Hallon and Banjar, of
250 and 300 km2 respectively. Kanha National Park was created on 1 June 1955
and in 1973 was made the Kanha Tiger Reserve. Today it stretches over an area
of 940 km2 in the two districts Mandla and Balaghat. Together with a
surrounding buffer zone of 1,067 km2 and the neighboring 110 km2 Phen Sanctuary
it forms the Kanha Tiger Reserve.This makes it the largest National Park in
Central India. Kanha Tiger Reserve was ranked in the top 10 Famous Places for
Tourists.
Bandhavgarh
National Park is one of the popular national parks in
India located in theUmaria district of Madhya Pradesh. Bandhavgarh was declared
a national park in 1968, with an area of 105 km2. The buffer is spread over the
forest divisions of Umaria and Katni and totals 437 km2. The park derives its
name from the most prominenthillock of the area, which was said to be given by
Hindu Lord Rama to his brother Lakshmana to keep a watch on Lanka(Ceylon).
Hence the name Bandhavgarh (Sanskrit: Brother's Fort).
Satpura National Park is located in the
Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh in India. Its name is derived from the
Satpura range. It covers an area of 524 km2 (202 sq mi). Satpura National Park,
along with the adjoining Bori and Panchmarhi wildlife sanctuaries, provides 1,427
km2 (551 sq mi) of unique central Indian highland ecosystem. It was set up in
1981.
Project Tiger was aimed at tiger conservation in
especially constructed tiger reserves. The project strove to maintain a viable
tiger population in its natural habitat. Project Tiger studied the damage being
done to the eco-system and the natural habitat of the tiger, since both are
dependent on each other. Conservation of the prey of tigers was something which
was given due importance as well. The damage done to the eco-system was studied
and rectified so that it could sustain a healthy tiger population. Funds and
undertakings were organized and an intense program for habitat protection and
rehabilitation of tigers was put in motion.

Emergency in India (25 June 1975 until its withdrawal on 21 March 1977)
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi,proclaim a state of national emergency from 25 June 1975 to 21 March 1977
The Government cited threats to national security, as a war with Pakistan had recently been concluded. Due to the war and additional challenges of drought and the 1973 oil crisis, the economy was in bad shape. The Government claimed that the strikes and protests had paralysed the government and hurt the economy of the country greatly. In the face of massive political opposition, desertion and disorder across the country and the party, Gandhi stuck to the advice of a few loyalists and her younger son Sanjay Gandhi, whose own power had grown considerably over the last few years to become an "extra-constitutional authority". Siddhartha Shankar Ray, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, proposed to the prime minister to impose an "internal emergency". He drafted a letter for the President to issue the proclamation on the basis of information Indira had received that "there is an imminent danger to the security of India being threatened by internal disturbances". He showed how democratic freedom could be suspended while remaining within the ambit of the Constitution.
After a quick question regarding a procedural matter, President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed declared a state of internal emergency upon the prime minister's advice on the night of 25 June 1975, just a few minutes before the clock struck midnight.
As the constitution requires, Ms. Gandhi advised and President Ahmed approved the continuation of Emergency over every six-month period until her decision to hold elections in 1977.
On 18 January 1977, Gandhi called fresh elections for March and released all political prisoners. The Emergency officially ended on 23 March 1977. The opposition Janata movement's campaign warned Indians that the elections might be their last chance to choose between "democracy and dictatorship."

Teaching an art !
Teaching an art !
A teacher is a master artist! The manner and skill with which artists employ their tools and materials to achieve an expressive effect is very similar to the teacher’s art. Just like the ways of using media can have a strong effect on the aesthetic quality of an artist’s total concept, a teacher’s skill in using media impacts the learning environment greatly. Skills and knowledge are not inherent and can be acquired by active cognitive processing. Most skills and knowledge that people have are taken for granted and never put to use. every effort is invested in tapping into every facilitator’s and teacher’s talents, skills and knowledge to make them a part of the colourful mural of learning they are a part of! No wonder, that the efforts pay off in the form of self confident, self reliant, and committed teachers and learners.
Teaching is hard work and some teachers never grow to be anything better than mediocre. They do the bare minimum required and very little more. The great teachers, however, work tirelessly to create a challenging, nurturing environment for their students. Great teaching seems to have less to do with our knowledge and skills than with our attitude toward our students, our subject, and our work. Although this list is certainly not all-inclusive, I have narrowed down the many characteristics of a great teacher to those I have found to be the most essential, regardless of the age of the learner:
1. A great teacher respects students. In a great teacher’s classroom, each person’s ideas and opinions are valued. Students feel safe to express their feelings and learn to respect and listen to others. This teacher creates a welcoming learning environment for all students.
2. A great teacher creates a sense of community and belonging in the classroom. The mutual respect in this teacher’s classroom provides a supportive, collaborative environment. In this small community, there are rules to follow and jobs to be done and each student is aware that he or she is an important, integral part of the group. A great teacher lets students know that they can depend not only on her, but also on the entire class.
3. A great teacher is warm, accessible, enthusiastic and caring. This person is approachable, not only to students, but to everyone on campus. This is the teacher to whom students know they can go with any problems or concerns or even to share a funny story. Great teachers possess good listening skills and take time out of their way-too-busy schedules for anyone who needs them. If this teacher is having a bad day, no one ever knows—the teacher leaves personal baggage outside the school doors.
4. A great teacher sets high expectations for all students. This teacher realizes that the expectations she has for her students greatly affect their achievement; she knows that students generally give to teachers as much or as little as is expected of them.
5. A great teacher has his own love of learning and inspires students with his passion for education and for the course material. He constantly renews himself as a professional on his quest to provide students with the highest quality of education possible. This teacher has no fear of learning new teaching strategies or incorporating new technologies into lessons, and always seems to be the one who is willing to share what he’s learned with colleagues.
6. A great teacher is a skilled leader. Different from administrative leaders, effective teachers focus on shared decision-making and teamwork, as well as on community building. This great teacher conveys this sense of leadership to students by providing opportunities for each of them to assume leadership roles.
7. A great teacher can “shift-gears” and is flexible when a lesson isn’t working. This teacher assesses his teaching throughout the lessons and finds new ways to present material to make sure that every student understands the key concepts.
8. A great teacher collaborates with colleagues on an ongoing basis. Rather than thinking of herself as weak because she asks for suggestions or help, this teacher views collaboration as a way to learn from a fellow professional. A great teacher uses constructive criticism and advice as an opportunity to grow as an educator.
9. A great teacher maintains professionalism in all areas—from personal appearance to organizational skills and preparedness for each day. Her communication skills are exemplary, whether she is speaking with an administrator, one of her students or a colleague. The respect that the great teacher receives because of her professional manner is obvious to those around her.
While teaching is a gift that seems to come quite naturally for some, others have to work overtime to achieve great teacher status. Yet the payoff is enormous — for both you and your students. Imagine students thinking of you when they remember that great teacher they had in college!

The most important festival of Orissa, Rajo is generally associated with the farmers and is celebrated during the onset of monsoons.Also known as Mithuna Sankranti, Raja generally celebrate on the first day of the month of Asadha (June-July) from which the rainy season starts, thus moistening the summer parched soil and making it ready for productivity. Though celebrated all over the state it is more enthusiastically observed in the coastal districts of Orissa.
kumari 's are celebrating raja in rajo doli
The first day is
called Pahili Raja, second is day is called raja sankaranti (Proper Raja) and third is Basi Raja or Raja Tola(Past
Raja).In some places however there is a custom of celebrating the fourth
Raja also known as the “Mahalaxmi Gadhua Puja”.Conceiving mother Laxmi to be a woman on menstruation, which is a sign

grains, comb hair, walk in bare foot etc. During all these three days, they are
seen in the best of dresses and decorations spending time visiting their
friends or moving up and down on improvised swings. Special songs meant to be
sung during these days only, can be heard everywhere. Though anonymous and
composed extempore, much of these songs, through seer beauty of diction and
sentiment, have earned permanence and have gone to make the very substratum of
Orissa’s folk-poetry.
Almost every Orissa
village transforms into a great melee of colors as traditionally everybody is
required to adorn new robes. Another common sight during these times are those
of swings which naturally come up in every nook and corner of the villages.
The entire surrounding
of the villages turn into a cauldron of ricocheting songs that go up with the
oscillating swing. The festival is also associated with the Oriya delicacy of
"Pitha" (dough cakes)which is prepared in almost all household.

happiest World environment day
World environment day is
celebrated on 5th June every year. Its aim is to raise global awareness about
our environment. Do you know when the World environment day has begun? In the
year 1972, the United Nations Conference on the Human environment was held from
5th June to 16th June. After that, every year on 5th June, it has been hosted
by different countries of the world with different theme.
This
year’s theme of World environment day is ““Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet.
Consume with Care”. ”. Likewise, in 2014, the theme was “Raise Your Voice Not
The Sea Level.”; and so on….
Firstly
we need to understand the meaning of SEVEN BILLION DREAMS . Today, we have 7
continents on planet earth and the overall population has been nearly over
7.125 billion (2010) which signifies 7 billionspeople living on 7 continents. Since every human
being has lived so far with only one dream which is to live better, to eat
better and to consume better. Majority of them never cared about environment.
Secondly, ONE PLANET CONSUME WITH CARE:- Despite of the fact that we are
more than 7 billion by now, we have only one planet to live and survive. We
have limited place, limited food, and limited shelters. If we keep on using
natural resources like we do today, a day will come when our own grand children
shall forced to livehomeless with hunger prevailing in the society.
So its better to consume whether food or fuel with care and responsibility.
Stop the wastage, use according to need not greed.
Everyone
knows the importance of our nature. It consists of all the living beings in
earth, which are mutually dependent on each other. But due to the pollution
caused by human beings, many species are becoming extinct and the global climate is also changing at a very fast rate.
It’s influencing our health and also going to give a long term effect on our
future. We know that millions of people in the earth depend on forest for their
livelihood. Every living being is dependent on trees. Only the tree can make
their food itself. But, we people are degrading the forest very much.
I
will not make it a lengthy speech. I want to say one thing on this great day
that try to plant trees as much as you can, because we depend on tree fully.
Try to plant at least one tree in any special occasion like on your birthday,
anniversary etc.
